| 117 | | (4) Patches (valid for binaries????): |
| 118 | | |
| 119 | | 1. If you don't already have the patch installer v2.1 tcl script (http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/xanadu/xspec/issues/patch_install.tcl), download and place it in the XSPEC src directory. This directory should be at .../headas/Xspec/src from the source code distribution. |
| 120 | | |
| 121 | | 2. Download the latest patchfile (http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/xanadu/xspec/issues/Xspatch_120201n.tar.gz) into the same directory. There is no need to unzip/untar the patchfile since the installer will do that. |
| 122 | | |
| 123 | | 3. (NOTE: This assumes you have already set your HEADAS environment variables with the headas-init script, as you would if you were running XSPEC, and that you have not modified the structure of your XSPEC src directories.) |
| 124 | | At the command line, launch the script by typing 'tclsh patch_install.tcl', and that's all. The script should detect which patches you've installed previously, copy the new code files to the necessary directories, determine whether complete or only partial rebuilds are necessary, and finally perform the rebuilds. |
